Title A name given to the resource White House Description An account of the resource The White House is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. In 1792, the cornerstone was laid, and construction began with free and enslaved laborers doing much of the work. The building was designed in a Neo-Classical style with a sandstone exterior that was whitewashed, which is how it became known as "The White House." In 1800, when second President John Adams moved in as the first resident, the White House was unfinished. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/157">In 1814, the British burned the building</a> during the War of 1812. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/437">The building has grown and changed several times throughout its history.</a> Today, the White House contains 132 rooms.

Title A name given to the resource United States Capitol Description An account of the resource In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone for the Capitol, a building which saw more than 200 years of construction, redesigning, expansion, and renovation.

New architects added sections, rooms, terraces, the rotunda, a dome, and exterior landscaping. The Capitol borrows features from both ancient Roman and Greek structures. The Capitol Visitors' Center is the newest addition, built entirely underground, and is nearly 3/4 the size of the entire Capitol building.

Title A name given to the resource Lockkeeper's House Description An account of the resource Built between 1832 and 1833, the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/257">Lockkeeper's House</a> was the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/277">home of the toll keeper</a> who collected tolls from those traveling along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Extension. Some accounts report that a resident lockkeeper and his family of 13 children shared the small quarters. The Extension, connecting the C&O Canal to the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/41">Washington City Canal</a>, was <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/201">filled in during the 1870s</a>, as <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/42">rail shipping</a> replaced canal shipping. The National Park Service acquired the house in the early 1900s, after squatters lived in it for decades, to use for offices and storage. In December 2016, the Park Service began a renovation project that will move the structure away from a busy intersection, and expand the building to serve as a visitor’s center and exhibition space.
